Pets on the Couch: Neurotic Dogs, Compulsive Cats, Anxious Birds, and the New Science of Animal Psychiatry
Description
The pioneering veterinarian and author of the New York Times bestseller, The
Dog Who Loved Too Much, and the national bestseller, The Cat Who Cried for
Help, recounts his uniquely entertaining—and poignant—stories of treating
animals for all-too-human problems as he reveals his amazing breakthroughs
with the new science of One Medicine. The Oliver Sacks of animal brains, Dr.
Nicholas Dodman is an internationally renowned veterinarian and research
scientist who wrote one of the first popular books to recognize the complex
emotional lives of dogs and to reveal innovative ways to help them, including
with Puppy Prozac. Now, Dr. Dodman once again breaks new ground with the
practice of One Medicine, the profound recognition that humans and other
animals share the same neurochemistry, and that our minds and emotions work in
similar ways. Racehorses with Tourette’s Syndrome, spinning dogs with
epilepsy, cats with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, feather-plucking parrots
with anxiety, and a diffident Bull Terrier with autism—these astonishing cases
were all helped by One Medicine, which emphasizes the similarities rather than
differences between animals and humans. Inspiring, sometimes heartbreaking,
and utterly fascinating, Pets on the Couch demonstrates how what we share with
our animals can only lead us to a greater appreciation for them—and our mutual
bonds. Read more
